With narrow curved brims and brims sharply turned back to give a cuff effect go crowns which taper to a pedestal shape, or are cut high and square on the "lines of a top hat. A classic sports hat has a long fluted quill of the felt continuing the height of the dented crown. With it goes a veil of embroidered net. Another with folded "cowboy" crown has a coarse meshed veiling as its sole trimming, folded lightly round the base of the crown and tied into a stiff bow at the back.
Sharp feathers and quills are much used on plain sports hats, and two-headed: hat-pins trim sports caps. For more dressy occasions a hat of black patter's plush has a lifted narrow brim and is simply trimmed with a wide meshed veiling lightly sprink-jed with large chenille spots.
